Given numbers are 672,202,238,842
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 672,202,238,842 is 485759904.
Find LCM of 672,202,238,842 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 672, 202, 238, 842 |
| 7 | 336, 101, 119, 421 |
| 48, 101, 17, 421 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 48 x 101 x 17 x 421 = 485759904
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 672,202,238,842 is 485759904.
LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}
Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.
672 x 202 x 238 x 842 = 27202554624
Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.
672 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 42, 48, 56, 84, 96, 112, 168, 224, 336, 672
202 : 1, 2, 101, 202
238 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 672,202,238,842, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
672:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7
202:2x 101
238:2x 7x 17
842:2x 421
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2x 7 = 28
Therefore, the value for common factors is 28.
Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.
LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}
LCM = 27202554624/(2x28)
LCM = 27202554624/56
LCM = 485759904
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 672,202,238,842 is 485759904.
